Stacey Bendet's plan at Alice + Olivia has always been to dress the Bright Young Things. Since launching in New York in 2002, she's carved out a niche with fun, youthful fare. But she has also proved her hand at more grown-up looks, like printed silk blouses for the office and statement-making gowns for evening, all with Bendet's signature joie de vivre.
